🚨 ANOTHER REFORM WIN 🚨
Thanks to Reform pressure, Plaid will stop spending YOUR money planting trees in Uganda.
But we won’t rest until Plaid stop sending your cash abroad entirely.
Catherine Cullen MS retweeted
All thanks to Reform UK Wales.
While this ridiculous scheme has lost its funding, other schemes such as spending £14,800 on football coaching and tournament in Somalia, were set up.
Only Reform will stop this wasteful spending and ensure all Welsh taxpayer money is spent in Wales
What is a woman? It shouldn’t be a difficult question.
In the Senedd, I challenged the Deputy Minister on the importance of recognising biological sex and protecting women and girls’ privacy.
I am calling on the Welsh Government to protect private spaces for women and girls and to ensure spaces for transgender individuals. A balance for both.
'For the full speech see Senedd TV'.

Who decides what counts as misinformation and disinformation under Plaid Cymru’s proposed broadcasting authority?
I challenged the Government on the dangers of increased political control over Welsh media and demanded guarantees that all voices, opinions and communities across Wales will be treated fairly.
Our media must hold power to account, not become a tool of those in power.

Pwy sy’n penderfynu beth sy’n cael ei ystyried yn gamwybodaeth a chamwybodaeth fwriadol o dan awdurdod darlledu arfaethedig Plaid Cymru?
Heriais y Llywodraeth ynghylch peryglon cynyddu rheolaeth wleidyddol dros y cyfryngau yng Nghymru, a mynnais sicrwydd y bydd pob llais, barn a chymuned ledled Cymru yn cael eu trin yn deg.
Rhaid i’n cyfryngau ddwyn y rhai mewn grym i gyfrif, nid dod yn arf i’r rhai sydd mewn grym.

Home Education is a valid choice. In Committee, I raised the issue of a potential home education register.
It is important we seek further clarity on this point. I also asked how decisions about the suitability of home education are made.
I will continue to scrutinise the Government so that the rights of parents and families are not infringed.

Mae addysg ddewisol yn y cartref yn ddewis dilys. Yn y Pwyllgor, codais y mater o bosibilrwydd cyflwyno cofrestr addysg ddewisol yn y cartref.
Mae’n bwysig ein bod yn ceisio eglurder pellach ar y pwynt hwn. Gofynnais hefyd sut y gwneir penderfyniadau ynghylch addasrwydd addysg yn y cartref.
Byddaf yn parhau i graffu ar y Llywodraeth er mwyn sicrhau nad yw hawliau rhieni a theuluoedd yn cael eu torri.

This is indoctrination 👇
I grew up under communism. I know what happens when political ideology enters the classroom and children are taught who the approved people are, and who the enemy is.
Britain is not communist. But the hard Left’s capture of too much of our education system should alarm every parent.
We have one last chance to root ideological activism out of our schools and rescue education from those who think children are theirs to politicise.
Thank you @_GeorgeFinch for exposing this and, crucially, taking action.
It is not too late. But it is getting late.
Parents need support, not fines!
I’m proud to say we are working towards a common-sense approach to school attendance that puts families and children first. Rather than automatically punishing parents, we must take a holistic approach, understand the reasons behind absence and tackle the root causes.
As a society, we should be supporting families to get their children into school, not simply reaching for the fines book, especially when this disproportionately targets mothers and those who need our support the most.
Support families. Put children first. Deliver real solutions. 💙🏴

🎙️ I had the pleasure of appearing on the latest Sunday Supplement with Vaughan Roderick on BBC Radio Wales.
It was a great opportunity to talk about my background, my roots in the Valleys, why I chose to get into politics, and the priorities I’m fighting for in the Senedd.
I’m proud to represent the people of Blaenau Gwent, Rhymney and Caerphilly, and I’ll continue working hard to make sure their voices are heard. 🏴💙🇬🇧

60 years ago today. 🩵Aberfan 🩵We will never forget those lost. Little ones and teachers. Those families left behind and the community then and today.
Parents in Wales deserve clarity on their rights when it comes to Relationships and Sexuality Education (RSE).
I have raised important questions about whether the Welsh Government’s approach, which makes RSE compulsory from age 3 and removes the general right of parental withdrawal, is consistent with the European Convention on Human Rights.
Parents’ rights, transparency and the role of families in their children’s education must not be ignored.

A very early morning yesterday. Lovely to be at Radio Cymru this morning with Vaughan Roderick at the BBC. A 'getting to know' the politician segment where we see our politicians as human beings. Speaking about my roots in the valleys, council estate upbringing, working, family, faith, and adoption and why I'm in Reform. Hope you enjoyed it if you were listening.🩵

Plaid welcomes dangerous migrants. The Tories would house them. Reform would deport them.

The only people obsessed with rejoining the EU are the same political establishment who never respected the Brexit vote.
Ordinary people are worried about the NHS, education, jobs and the cost of living.
They want politicians fixing Britain's problems, not finding their way back onto the Brussels gravy train.
It's time the political class stopped looking after themselves and started listening to the people.
The Curriculum for Wales already places a heavy burden on new teachers, who struggle to fit everything expected of them into a working day.
Instead of reforming this system, Plaid Cymru have proposed an additional Numeracy and Literacy strategy on top of the existing framework. I have highlighted this issue directly to the Government through my role in the Early Years, Children, Young People and Education Committee.
Please feel free to listen to the full session at senedd.tv

Mae’r Cwricwlwm i Gymru eisoes yn rhoi baich gwaith trwm ar athrawon newydd, sy’n cael trafferth ffitio popeth a ddisgwylir ganddynt i mewn i ddiwrnod gwaith.
Yn hytrach na diwygio’r system hon, mae Plaid Cymru wedi cynnig strategaeth ychwanegol ar gyfer Rhifedd a Llythrennedd ar ben y fframwaith presennol. Rwyf wedi tynnu sylw’r Llywodraeth yn uniongyrchol at y mater hwn drwy fy rôl ar y Pwyllgor Blynyddoedd Cynnar, Plant, Pobl Ifanc ac Addysg.
